I applied online. I interviewed at Allston Trading (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2021
Interview
I applied in early February and got a phone call the next week, followed by two technical interviews through coderpad with video chat. I thought both technical interviews went well, however after the second technical interview I was told they would be in touch within a week with an update on the process. After a week I reached out to no response, and still have had radio silence since now going on 3 weeks out of the interview. It’s a shame, I was very excited about this company; however I do not think I will be applying to any future roles at Allston after seemingly being ghosted.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Allston Trading
Interview
Several one on one interviews with various members of the IT team and HR. Some interviewers were too technical, looking for book definitions as opposed to real world thinking and experience, but overall the process seemed to be moving quickly with timely feedback. That is until they decided to not respond to any requests from the recruiter for feedback to determine if I was still being considered for the position. I was ok with a yes or no, but it was very unprofessional to not respond at all to multiple requests.
